Alan Fletcher brings his trademark Alt-country music to The Newhampton Arts Centre in Wolverhampton. Alan will debut tracks from his new album Back to School along with a selection from his back catalogue. Don’t miss this opportunity to see, hear and meet Neighbours legend Alan Fletcher as he brings his latest album to life on stage.
“Alan Fletcher has been entertaining audiences for more than 45 years as an actor and musician. He is a household name in Australia, UK and Europe as a result of playing Dr Karl on the TV series Neighbours for 30 years.
Alan fronted the rock band Waiting Room which held a 12-year residency in Melbourne and performed ten sell-out tours in the UK.
Inspired by his heroes such as Jason Isbell, John Prine and Guy Clark, Alan has spent the past 18 months writing and recording THE POINT - a brand new album of witty and heartfelt original songs. The Point has been produced by Alt-Country/Americana masters Lachlan Bryan and Damian Cafarella and received widespread praise.
Engaging, delightful, wistful and original, The Point is classically crafted whilst contemporarily composed. It’s an album that covers a wide spectrum of emotions, that shakes and stirs with infectious honesty. – The Manc Review (mancreview.com) Overall, Alan Fletcher delivered a show that surprised in the best possible way. He had a fantastic vocal quality throughout as well as some solid guitar playing, but what elevated the evening for me was the balance he struck between thoughtfulness and fun and the strength of his connection with the crowd. It’s safe to say he’s going to appeal to music fans way beyond just those who know him from ‘Neighbours’, and personally I’m very intrigued to see where he’s going to take his music next.
